Subject: NFG's Model Release Form
I whipped up a model release.  You can find the most current version here:

http://nfgphoto.com/Model%20Release.pdf

Here's the text of it.  I invite your opinions.


Human Readable Version

In short, we have worked together to create images.  Any of these images you have been given are yours to do with what you please, without restriction.  The same pictures are also mine to do with as I see fit, including but not limited to edits, alterations, promotion and commercial uses.  Unless otherwise stated in writing, this is the extent of our arrangement, and no additional payments need be made to either party for any reason.


Strictly Defined Version

I hereby grant Lawrence Wright (aka NFG, aka NFGphoto), his agents, and anyone acting with his permission, the unrestricted right to use, for any purpose, all photos which include my likeness. 

I understand that these uses may include modifications and edits.

I understand that NFG will try and let me know if my image will be used in any commercial manner.  I acknowledge that he does not require my permission to use my image in this manner.

I understand and agree that any digital images given to me will comprise the entirety of any compensation I may receive, and that no additional compensation will be forthcoming, under any circumstances.

I hereby warrant that I am of full legal age and have the right to contract in my own name. I have read the above release, prior to its execution, and I am fully familiar with and understand the contents thereof. This release shall be binding upon me and my heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.

Based on my experience with legal documents over the past few years, I would highly recommend eliminating the "NFG" and "NFGphoto" as both are not legal entities.

Hrm...  Maybe I'll change it to "hereinafter known as NFG" instead.

I kind of figure this form will mostly be used by normal people.  It should resolve most conflicts and clarify our positions long before the lawyers start shooting holes in the phrasing.  =)

Have you considered Registering NFGPhoto as a business? after all, if you are charging money you have to (should) have an ABN.

Once registered then the wording will no longer be an issue as NFGPhoto will be a legal entity.

I don't need an ABN until I cross a certain threshhold of income.  Am in no danger of doing that anytime soon.  =)

Does this form release models?
And if so, how often?
Are they all female models?
What age are the released models?

Also, this'd stand up in court with Judge Judy; you'll be fine.
